A graceful italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms are built on a calligraphic axis, with narrow, gently bracketed serifs and frequent teardrop or wedge-like finishing strokes. Proportions feel slightly condensed and flowing, with modest ascenders and deeper, more expressive descenders that add rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved forms and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep the overall color light and airy.
This face fits best in editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and other print-forward contexts where an elegant italic is needed. It works well for pull quotes, intros, captions, and titling that benefits from a refined, traditional voice, and it can also support premium branding and invitation-style materials.
The tone is cultured and elegant, evoking classical book typography and formal correspondence. Its sweeping italics and sharp hairline details give it a sophisticated, romantic feel suited to expressive, editorial settings rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for refined typography, prioritizing graceful rhythm and calligraphic detail. Its structure balances traditional serif conventions with a lively slant for expressive emphasis in text and display.
Curves are smooth and continuous, and joins stay sharp, producing a clean, polished texture at display sizes. The italic construction is consistent across capitals and lowercase, creating a cohesive forward motion; punctuation and the ampersand also carry the same calligraphic refinement.
